The wool 'glows'. T-untucked looks best to my eye. I do like the pointy toe booties, and am surprised how nicely the flats bookend the cashmere top. The look you choose is the more upscale, by virtue of the footwear you chose, but all iterations work, so you could repeat this outfit for different occaisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570583 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:47:19 +0000 Colette 1570583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit on you and especially prefer the first Pliner booties. I'm in awe at your sewing talents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570575 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:43:47 +0000 Karie 1570575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Tille booties slightly better than the Dalis booties, although both are super fabulous.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love all the made-by-you items! And "Yesterday I made a tee shirt" - I would have to say, "It took me two weeks to make this tee shirt!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570572 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:37:32 +0000 Sara L. 1570572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet.&nbsp; The outfit you chose is the best of the three.&nbsp; All the pieces of this outfit are great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570550 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:04:53 +0000 Carole 1570550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, aren't you talented! That shrug...love! And you made the crops and T, too..amazing:)</p> <p>Love the boots you chose to wear...just the right style for the crops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570369 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 04:06:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1570369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, thank you! I still buy the majority of what I wear. I don't make jeans, and I don't make that many pants, and I pretty much live in jeans and pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570365 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 03:58:22 +0000 AJ 1570365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a whole outfit that you made! You're so talented! Do you find yourself sewing more than buying?</p> <p>I like the first shoe choice best. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570359 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 03:30:39 +0000 Suz 1570359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Pliners cut off the leg a bit more because of the way they go straight across. Whereas the Dalis boot comes up higher and has that slight (flattering) dip in front. So with Pliers, it's more flattering to have the top tucked because it gives the legs back some of their length? Anyway, to my eye it works well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570358 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 03:26:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1570358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I liked the shirt tucked with the Tillie booties, too, for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570314 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 01:53:22 +0000 Suz 1570314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. I love these outfit labs and learn so much from looking at the proportions. I think you chose well -- 1/2 is gorgeous in its subtle blending of tones and the proportions of the booties seem right here. I also quite like #7 with the Pliners, but maybe I am just biased because I have those booties, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570302 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 01:44:20 +0000 Jaime 1570302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1/2 is my favorite too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570261 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 00:51:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1570261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Looks like what I wore out of the house was the clear favorite. I think it would be nice to have some higher shaft booties that have a more fitted top, but I don't have any yet, and I'm not itching to buy any at the moment. So these are the best I've got. Glad they serve the purpose! </p> <p><b>unfrumped</b>, I agree a tucked or cropped top would be good with this look, too. I was surprised that I had a slight preference for the tee untucked in this case. <b>kiwigal</b>'s observation about lengthening the torso versus lengthening the legs is so true; maybe I just liked the longer torso look this time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570253 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 00:20:13 +0000 Angie 1570253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best because of the higher shaft on the bootie and the low contrast colouring with your crops. Those proportions look best to my eye. VERY trendy. WELL DONE. Nice tee and fun pants, Sharan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570250 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 00:13:54 +0000 Windchime 1570250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely prefer one of the darker footwear options. The pants look super cute on you; great fall outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570248 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 23:41:29 +0000 Tania 1570248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number one is my favorite, because of the higher shaft booties with these pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570221 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 22:22:10 +0000 Anonymous 1570221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Janet said. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570201 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:38:34 +0000 Janet 1570201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the styling you chose was the best choice. I like the higher shaft booties with the pants. The cross-strap flats are my least favorite of the three with the pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570198 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:30:18 +0000 unfrumped 1570198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, love Zoutfit Lab!<br /> Super colors.<br /> Reworking the cropped pants. You know I struggld with lengths, for my eye vs " fashion". </p> <p>Thes pants seem to go along with the higher shaft bootie trend, so, moving away from the open vamp look. Then a matter of where boot ends and pants fall- tgat has always been my dilemma. . I would try with these boots or other boots with a bit of skin showing. For that I like the top tucked or a boxy top.<br /> These are hard proportions for me to get right- working with my plaid Anthro pants as you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570197 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:29:04 +0000 CocoLion 1570197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You chose wisely. &nbsp;I think the cropped pants require the footwear with higher shafts, and those are the highest between the three choices.</p> <p>I would love the dressy DJPs in this outfit if the pants were a bit longer.</p> <p>I am impressed with how many knits you make. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570195 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:19:48 +0000 kellygirl 1570195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh this is lovely! I think your first choice in foot wear is splendid. Something about the boot shaft height really makes the outfit shine--and the cool detailing on the boots. I like the maryjanes next best. Proportions and colors are fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570194 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:05:55 +0000 Cerinda 1570194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I prefer #1 also, but what I <i>really</i> notice is how great the colors and textures layer from the back (#5 and #8). &nbsp;Subtle, unexpected, brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570192 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:02:47 +0000 shedev 1570192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 1,3,then 2. Both for the darker color with the pants and the bulkiness ( for lack of a better description of the shoe). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570164 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 18:41:24 +0000 Sal 1570164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting!!</p> <p>I love the look you chose and this has a casual elegance about it.<br />My second pick is 6.</p> <p>To my mind I prefer both booties over the crossover shoes. &nbsp;I prefer untucked over tucked - but this is probably my own slight poison eye - I almost always prefer untucked on women. &nbsp;I can see that tucked is leg lengthening but it is also more body shortening. &nbsp; However I think you could do either.</p> <p>Great tee too - the colours, the fit and the pattern are all super. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-wiw-cropped-pants#post-1570163 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 18:34:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1570163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I made a t-shirt and wanted to wear it to work today. Since I couldn't wear jeans--which it will be easy to pair with-- I settled on wearing it with my cropped dark brown wool pants and a taupe cashmere blend shrug (after many try-ons, not pictured, with other things in my closet). <br />With this outfit, I tried out different combinations of footwear and semi-tucked versus untucked tee, which I photographed and thought I would share here. I decided to go with the first option pictured, but would be interested in your thoughts about which--if any--of these looks work and why. </p> <p>The outfit: Dark brown wool cropped pants (made by me); teal key-print tee (made by me); taupe cashmere blend shredded-knit shrug (made by me); with taupe croc-textured booties (Donald J. Pliner, Dalis); brown metallic pointy toe heeled booties (Donald J. Pliner, Tillie); taupe cross-strap flats (Naot, Lan). </p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
